Mel Ozlem Khaled

Originally born in Cyprus, Mel has spent most of her life in London. She now lives in Walthamstow with her husband Shelly. However, the couple are in the process of building their dream home on the east coast of Cyprus, where they plan to run a wellness retreat. Health and wellness are a big part of Mel’s life, a passion she discovered around a decade ago when caring for her daughter.   

Mel was diagnosed with primary breast cancer back in 2009, for which she received a successful course of treatment. 10 years later, another lump appeared and this time she was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer. Mel is a full time mother, foster mother and step mother, with her and her husband having 6 young and adult children between them. So no doubt there'll be plenty of visitors to their Cypriot paradise.
